What To Expect
1
Pack Square
An Asheville mayor killed himself in the Jackson building. How may people have jumped from the top? And why is there a bulls-eye on the sidewalk below? Learn about the ghoul of the old jail, Thomas Wolfe's ghost, Helen's Bridge, and more!
2
Grove Arcade
Hear the controversial story of the murder of Helen Clevenger in the Battery Park Hotel, and why a blood-red haze is said to appear around her murder-room window on the anniversary of the tragedy.
3
Basilica of Saint Lawrence
This building's architect is entombed in the wall of this church, and his apparition is seen roaming in the night, gazing, in awe, at the world-class dome he constructed with a secret method.
4
Thomas Wolfe Memorial
The spirits of the great author (Look Homeward, Angel), and his brother, roam the halls of this storied mansion. Thomas Wolfe even wrote about spirits before he died at age 37. Wait till you hear the full story!
5
Pritchard Park
This is where troops rallied before the "Battle of Asheville" in the Civil War. Southern ghosts still violently shove some people to the ground, and spectral drums are heard beating in the night.

Brian was a great story teller. He weaved the paranormal with the history of Ashville. We visited street we might not have if left on our own to see the city.

Our family went on this tour, 2 parents, 2 teens and a 23 yr old. We all had a great time. Christian was a great guide- informative and entertaining. He even gave everyone a little thoughtful gift at the end. It was a lot of walking but our son, who has a disability, was able to keep up. We learned so much that we ended up going back during the daytime to check everything out again. I would definitely recommend this tour. I love all things paranormal but my husband is a skeptic. We both enjoyed the tour a lot.

Excellent blend of history and spooky. Will do again in the future. The guide was even kind enough to offer requested advice on other things to do in the area.
